I don't think there a lot of guys writing to you, on these posts (at least I don't seem to think they are...) Sorry about your day. There are guys out here like me that are devastated by the breakup of a family. I didn't show my wife that I valued her enough, and I'll have to live with that. However, not all of us want to chase 20 year olds. We just want our wives and families back, or at least someone who will love us for what we are...not perfect, but good men. I think of a good friend of mine here in Iraq. He's 45 and never been married. A tremendous guy who has always been in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was in Afghanistan in October 2001, right when we went in, for a year, Iraq for a year, and now back here.....again. A loyal, funny guy... a great, successful officer. He just happens to be in the Army..not great these days for steady relationships! He has a Match.com page that says: "If you have kids, it's fine with me, as long as you're a good mom"..They're out here, and you'll find one if you husband doesn't grow up. (He's in for a rude awakening when this young thing re-evaluates and takes off) I'm sorry your husband doesn't value the things right under his nose. I don't think I showed my wife that I cared enough, and I'm paying for it now, but how a Dad can walk out on his kids is beyond me. I just see the bottom of your posts and see D6 and S2, and just don't know how he can go a day without them.......beyond me...
I'm still taken back by him saying that his kids won't respect him when they're older. Huh, you think? I can't belive that doesn't kill him, and he's throwing it all away for what?
Hang in there. Thanks for writing to me. I know you must be super busy.
